Hi @Carlos. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- In Nuxt UI 3, you can use the UContextMenu component to display a context menu (right-click menu) on any element, including a table or table rows. While the documentation does not provide a direct example of attaching a context menu to a table or its rows, it does show how to use UContextMenu with any slot content. You can wrap your table or specific table rows with UContextMenu to achieve this behavior. Here’s a basic example of how you might apply a context menu to a table row:

<script setup lang="ts">
import type { ContextMenuItem } from '@nuxt/ui'

const items = ref<ContextMenuItem[]>([
  { label: 'Edit' },
  { label: 'Delete', color: 'error' }
])

const tableData = ref([
  { id: 1, name: 'Alice' },
  { id: 2, name: 'Bob' }
])
</script>

<template>
  <table>
    <tr>
      <th>ID</th>
      <th>Name</th>
    </tr>
    <tr v-for="row in tableData" :key="row.id">
      <UContextMenu :items="items">
        <td>{{ row.id }}</td>
        <td>{{ row.name }}</td>
      </UContextMenu>
    </tr>
  </table>
</template>

<script setup lang="ts">
import type { ContextMenuItem } from '@nuxt/ui'

const items = ref<ContextMenuItem[]>([
  { label: 'Edit' },
  { label: 'Delete', color: 'error' }
])

const tableData = ref([
  { id: 1, name: 'Alice' },
  { id: 2, name: 'Bob' }
])
</script>

<template>
  <table>
    <tr>
      <th>ID</th>
      <th>Name</th>
    </tr>
    <tr v-for="row in tableData" :key="row.id">
      <UContextMenu :items="items">
        <td>{{ row.id }}</td>
        <td>{{ row.name }}</td>
      </UContextMenu>
    </tr>
  </table>
</template>

- The UContextMenu can wrap any element, so you can place it around a table row (<tr>) or even individual cells (<td>). - The menu will appear when you right-click on the wrapped element. Note: The official documentation demonstrates usage of UContextMenu with generic elements, but does not provide a table-specific example. However, the approach above follows the documented usage pattern and should work as expected in Nuxt UI 3 see usage. If you need more advanced row actions, the documentation also shows how to use UDropdownMenu for row actions in tables, but this is for click menus, not context menus see with row actions. If you encounter any issues or limitations, you may want to check for updates or open an issue on the Nuxt UI GitHub repository, as the documentation notes that Nuxt UI 3 is a significant rewrite from v2 and some patterns may have changed Migration notes. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I'm sorry, but the knowledge sources do not provide an explicit example or documentation for adding a UContextMenu directly to a UTable or its rows in Nuxt UI 3. The available examples for row actions in tables use UDropdownMenu for click-based actions, not context (right-click) menus With row actions. The documentation for UContextMenu shows how to use it with generic elements, but does not demonstrate integration with UTable or table rows specifically ContextMenu usage. Therefore, I cannot provide a confirmed, documented approach for this use case based on the current knowledge sources. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
